Occasionally I’d run in to textures that simply didn’t correctly load at all.įor those out there curious about my Sikkmod settings, I’ve thrown them all in to this Imgur album.
The Wulfen textures also created an odd problem every now and then – though metal and technology looked fine, the parallax textures for stone and dirt could sometimes warp and distort in some kind of dizzying ways. Not to mention the horrid ending, which ends on a cliffhanger to set up the expansion, Resurrection of Evil (which I do not own and will not be playing). But, as long as I played carefully, I never found myself quitting out of frustration.īut really, it just highlighted all of Doom 3′s other problems that Sikkmod doesn’t fix, like the inane storyline, how slow and horror-y the guns are, and how a lot of enemies seem to spawn out of a clown car, one-by-one. I couldn’t sustain more than a few hits from any given enemy, and even with their reduced health, enemies like Imps could still take a full shotgun blast to the chest and live to rip me apart. This meant finding health was still important, but I’d never be cornered in an unwinnable situation.Įven though all of this might sound like wuss mode, it still provided a pretty decent, balanced challenge. The idea was to have enemies that could hit me really hard, but wouldn’t eat tons of ammo.Īs a safety measure, I turned on regenerating health that would refill me up to 65% hp. Then, since Veteran beefs up enemy health, I used Sikkmod to forcibly turn enemy health back down. How I ended up playing the game was to crank the difficulty up to “Veteran,” the hardest non-Nightmare difficulty.
Armor-mounted mini-flashlights, health kits you can keep in your inventory, and the ability to modify a whole host of damage settings for guns, enemies and more.
Sikkmod also has a lot of options for gameplay tweaks. As you can tell, the results can be quite striking, especially when paired with the Wulfen texture pack, which adds high-def replacements for some textures with added parallax mapping. It adds advanced lightbloom, color correction, film grain, etc. I’m not even really sure why I finished it, but it may have something to do with what Sikkmod does to the game.Īt its core, Sikkmod is a graphics enhancement mod for Doom 3. It took me five years, but I finally finished Doom 3 a few days ago. Doom 3 ( Sikkmod + Wulfen Parallax Textures)
